Kate has a number of legal options says Ferrar. “She can certainly have a civil claim against him,” Ferrar says. “She could go in front of the family court judge and ask for contempt sanctions against him. She could file criminal charges against him. She could do a whole host of things.”

Ferrar, who is a former police officer, says that Kate should ask police to begin an investigation to look for spyware or other evidence that would prove her case. “She should be taking that information to the DA’s office and telling them here’s a witness that he hacked into their account.”
